Though you might not have known it, Michael Jordan’s thirteenth signature sneaker has been celebrating a pretty significant milestone in 2022, with the Tinker Hatfield-designed sneaker currently in the midst of its 25th-anniversary celebration. That will change as we enter the tail end of 2022, with the “UNC” leading into releases of the “Black Flint” and OG “Playoffs”early next year. But before we get there, it appears that the model will be given a shot of energy thanks to an A-list collaborative partner, with a first look at an upcoming SoleFly x The New Air Jordan 1 Retro Another look at The Shoe Surgeon s custom Ikea-inspired Air Jordan 1 Field Boot.

Though the pair’s official inspiration is yet to be cited, the coloration continues a long run of blue-based colorways for the silhouette, as well as the brand’s tributes to Mike’s Alma Mater in North Carolina. Here, Tar Heel blues dress the pair’s premium suede shroud overlays and textile liners, while creamy off-white ripstop uppers and tongues provided the pair’s base. Supple grey suede covers the collar and guards, while midsoles paintwork sees a return to Uni Blue. Sole units take on a light tan and gum tooling, complete with royal blue hologram buttons. Co-branding at the tongue is reminiscent of Jordan Brand’s “Motorsport” initiative, with animal-print insoles continuing on from SoleFly’s most recent Air Jordan 1 Low collaboration.

With a release for the SoleFly x The New Air Jordan 1 Retro expected towards the end of the year, expect to see and learn more on the collaboration soon. Until then, enjoy a very first look at the pair in question below, and as always, keep your eyes glued to our official Twitter account Luke Jordan Guerrero.
